But the 20-year-old told police: “He never sexually molested me or asked for sexual favours because Black Death prohibited or severely punished members who touched kidnapped girls.”

And she claimed Herba allowed her to shower and gave her a clean T-shirt and underwear every day.

But Chloe said despite the trust they shared, the captor still warned her she could be in mortal danger if she tried to flee during the six days she was held.

She added: “He held me prisoner for entire time of my kidnapping, guarded me, stopped me from going out or escaping, threatening me that ‘they’ would kill me if I did so. I never went outside because he prohibited it.”

The mob published photos of Chloe partially naked and sedated in an “advert” on the dark web.

Their plot to sell her on ended when the gang discovered she was the mum of a two-year-old son.

Instead, she claimed, they demanded her £270,000 price tag as a ransom for her safe return.

The latest developments emerged as her Italian lawyer revealed the Black Death gang have long been snatching sex slaves to order and may have targeted Chloe because she is British.

Daria Pesce said: “It has been ­kidnapping for Arabian buyers for years, Italian girls, girls of all ­nationalities.

“They may have wanted a British girl so that is why they kidnapped Chloe.”

Police told how Chloe, who lives in Coulsdon, South London, was lured to a fake photoshoot in Milan on July 11 where she was drugged with horse tranquilliser ­ketamine, stripped and handcuffed before being bundled into a suitcase in the boot of a car by two masked men.

She was then driven to an alpine village near Turin. Chloe said she was at first shackled to a chest of drawers and forced to sleep on the ground with her mouth duct-taped.

But when Herba arrived at the ­property, he is said to have removed the tape and cuffs. From the second night he allowed her to walk freely around the house and moved her to the bedroom to sleep in his bed.

Chloe told detectives she was initially afraid to eat for fear of being drugged again.

But three days after her kidnap she said Herba gave her chocolate and added: “I was dying of hunger so I ate it.”

And she claimed the 30-year-old was “furious” that she had been snatched, given that she had a child.

Herba took her for breakfast in a coffee shop before handing her to the British consulate.

Herba was arrested and is currently in a Milan prison.

According to Italian police sources, Herba claims he was pulled into the plot under duress by Romanians who lived near his Oldbury flat.
